The following procedure explains how to incorporate the Policy Injection Application Block into your application.

To prepare your application

  1. Add a reference to the Policy Injection Application Block assembly. In Visual Studio, right-click your project node in Solution Explorer, and then click Add Reference. Click Browse, and then locate the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.PolicyInjection.dll assembly. Select this assembly, and then click OK to add the reference.
  2. Use the same procedure to set a reference to the Enterprise Library Common assembly, named Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll.
  3. Follow the same procedure to add a reference to the ObjectBuilder assembly, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ObjectBuilder.dll.
  4. If you are using the built-in handlers that use the features of other Enterprise Library application blocks, add a reference to the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.PolicyInjection.CallHandlers.dll assembly, and then add references to the Enterprise Library application blocks used by these handlers.
  5. (Optional) To use elements from the Policy Injection Application Block without fully qualifying the element reference, add the following using statements (C#) or Imports statements (Visual Basic .NET) to the top of your source code file.
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.PolicyInjection;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.PolicyInjection.CallHandlers;

Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.PolicyInjection
Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.PolicyInjection.CallHandlers

Note

For Visual Basic .NET projects, you can use the References page of the Project Properties Designer to manage references and imported namespaces. To access the References page, select a project node in Solution Explorer. On the Project menu, click Properties. When the Project Properties Designer appears, click the References tab.
